Making the peacekeeper cyborg not useless

stuns are useless.

it needs barriers and some sort of thing to degrade enemies' ability to chase pursue or accurately shoot people to death.

the hypo was a good idea but the chems are useless. give it something that slows people down and makes their shooting less accurate, a security barrier module that works and be able to form itself into a wall and it'd be good.

also a reactive armor module that lowers damage of incoming shots/impacts but drains lots of battery depending on the power of the strike wouldn't go amiss. it makes no real sense that the engiborg for instance is just as good at blocking lasers than the thing that should be doing it.

it's called design direction

[Cik]

design direction when it goes in the direction you like
otherwise it's broken uncounterable and should be removed

right pkp

more like in the direction that the design leads like

right oranges?

i thought the real purpose behind peacekeeper borgs was the culmination of hate or anger anti-sec borg players had over the past years

making it useful would defeat that purpose no?

[Incomptinence]

No that was the "purpose" added after conception by PKP literally being allergic to bolas.

i wish i had that much influence on the code tbh

Give them a plastic bubble gun. You shoot someone with it and it soaks a small amount of damage then pops. Also when someone moves in it they do the flip animation.

[Cobraman202]

Peacekeeper borg is more a law 1 clown right now.

[imblyings]

plastic bubble gun doesn't even sound half bad since we're here to jerk off to the remains of people who liked playing sec borg

inf ammo zero firing delay but low capacity recharging battery, shoots bubbles that make people do what pillz said they do

it's still not annoying enough though, we need to find something that technically cucks antags without stepping into silicon validhunt territory, like a gun that edits the maptext var of a target temporarily

yes, you could edit the gun to fire the word "harmful" or "please avoid" or "manlet" or whatever you desire and you'd be able to label people those words for a short duration

[DrPillzRedux]

My suggestion was less fuck over antags and more mitigate a little harm.

Also goofy.

[imblyings]

editing the maptext of an antag hurts nothing but their pride pillz

they may get their greentext and hijack the shuttle but they'll do so with their ego not intact

Thin edge of the wedge. You've spearheaded more hugbox than and bay12 player to ever migrate here.

This is bait

[pubby]

Remove PK borgs and give the service borg a pie cannon.

I think the key to such a "barrier" like the ones suggested before is to amplify their role as peacekeeping rather then combat robustness.

The easy way to do this is to have it block people but not projectiles, possibly including things like spears, but possibly only including "bullets" like the tazer, stetchkin, etc

So PKborg is still liable to get his ass shot up if he tries to solo nuke ops but he can break up a greytide fight.
